The Ontario government offers approximately $11 billion to support workers and businesses amid economic uncertainty and U.S. tariffs. This support includes deferring select provincial taxes for six months, allowing businesses to retain $9 billion in cash flow, and providing a $2 billion rebate for safe employers, supplementing an earlier rebate. To enhance competitiveness, the province aims to eliminate internal trade barriers, accelerate development approvals, and diversify trading partners. Additionally, Ontario has allocated $400 million for health and safety programs to ensure workers are supported during this challenging period.
